Ineffective engineer

Not convinced by this device. Either the guy was working on multiple things or he wasn’t quite sure what he was doing. I paid money for someone to spend approximately 20 minutes right clicking files. He created a single new profile which I could’ve done in 10 seconds.

*update - the reply I do not agree with. The remote connection constantly dropped and the guy was not what I would class as highly skilled. In the space of 15 minutes he managed to right click a bunch of stuff and create a new desktop profile. He wasn’t even looking in the right areas. I’ve worked in software testing for years and can tell when someone isn’t sure if what they’re doing.

Hi Kris, we are sorry you had a bad experience. I reviewed the job and see that you paid the £14 deposit and you were assisted by a very highly skilled engineer. It seems you cancelled the job out of frustration and I do understand that it can be frustrating but our engineer was doing everything correctly while assisting you remotely. If you would still like help I would recommend booking someone on-site or please feel free to contact us at hello@nerdapp.com. Kind Regards, Kelvin

*Update

I completely understand that you feel that your experience was unsatisfactory. We do take a lot of care in verifying our engineers. The person who assisted you has 18 years experience and many certifications. We are sorry for the unsatisfactory experience you had.

Superb service

Many thanks Hemanth Vishnu A.

Typed in my request and got an immediate response from friendly and professional nerd Hemanth. Problem sorted efficiently via remote desktop control and whatsapp conversation. Not cheap but sensibly priced based on time spent. Only one slight issue is the global nature of their business means understanding conversation can be a little difficult, but not a major problem. Highly recommended.

Excellent service.
Very pleased with the ease with which I was able to solve my problem.
The tech support was seamless - very polite and professional.
Having booked a home visit the ‘techie’ called me to discuss the problem and we arranged a mutual time for the visit.
The job was completed with absolute satisfaction. Thank you.

Work around for an Attachment issue

It was 10pm (deadline was before midnight) and my son was unable to attach his music audition to send in. The error message said the file was too large. Vincent helped him to get it attached and sent. Thank you Vincent!

NerdApp is fast, safe, and affordable.

I felt safe using their tools to share my passwords and screen. My support person worked very quickly and found a solution much faster than I thought was possible. NerdApp is a great service and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs instant, remote technical support with very little friction.

The Worst Scammers!

The worst! If I could leave negative stars I would. This site is an absolute scam. I scheduled an appointment at 4:45pm PST, the technician who was assigned to me (Haesong H.) never got back to me. On top of that I tried to reach customer service and I couldn't get ahold of anyone. I tried calling and using the chat support (which is a joke!) and I still haven't heard from anyone. To top it off I wanted to cancel the job since I hadn't heard from anyone and it was already 3 hours past the appointment time, and the app tells me that if I cancel, I will get NO refund back. Such a horrible service and I'll be reviewing it on other sites to raise awareness of this scam to other people, so that they don't get scammed and ripped off either. I will be taking it up with my bank.

Hi Sahar, our site is in no way a scam, we are terribly sorry that you had this experience and you will certainly receive a refund. I have reviewed the job and saw that the Nerd did respond instantly via chat however their communication was not up to our standard at all and I can see why you may have thought it wasn’t legit. This is not the way we run our platform and measures will be taken for remediation. I have responded to you via chat and all notification channels to let you know that you will certainly get a refund and asked if we can send a new Nerd to assist and this will be at our cost as well. Kind regards, Kelvin
